Quote: Geoff Tipps "I've heard that we are signing someone from Newcastle Knights! .....I have absolutely no idea who this maybe and what position they are ......All I know is that the rumour mill is in overdrive! .......Josh Hodgson expressed that we love a good rumour just before he signed for the Canberra Raiders! ......Haha!'"
Clint Newton sat out last week's reserve grade game for no reason that I can see, and he is in good form playing lock for 70 or 80 minutes a game.
The only other "middle 3" guy I think will be looking for somewhere else soon is Sam Mataora. He signed from Canberra to Newcastle mid last season looking for a chance to play firstgrade, and he has been very good in reserve grade, but a few younger guys like Vaivai and Tapine have been better and he doesn't look like getting a game anytime soon.
The other outside chance is Zane Tetevano. He was a regular firstgrade prop last year till sacked because of domestic violence charges. His legal issues should be settled soon. They have been going on for about a year.
